Raymond John Noorda

Dear Tye and Family. You probably do not remember all the employees at Novell, but I remember the kindness and thoughtfullness from Tye and Ray. It is sad to know of his passing but I am assured that because of his love and kindness through the years he is with our savior now. My love and prayers are with you at this time. Ray will be missed and remembered for a long time to come. Sherry Hooley (Redick). Novell 1987 to 1991.

Dear Tye and Family,

Those of us who knew you and Ray from your days in Schenectady New York are greatful for the fond memories we share from our association over the years. In earlier days Ray was our home teacher, which was a fearsome challenge given the unruly nature of our household back in those days with 6 barely civilized young boys. I am sure that by surviving this test, Ray was well-prepared to face whatever challenges the corporate world could place in his path in...

Approx.20 years ago I had the pleasure of talking to Ray on the phone.I had an office in San Diego and noticed his name in a computor magazine. I told him it was great seeing a "Noorda" accomplished something outstanding in life. My parents moved to San Diego in 1929 from Salt Lake City and opened a bakery. My dad (Claude and uncle Jack had the bakery until 1943. Uncle jack moved back to Salt Lake at that time. I was the electrician at San Diego Stadium until I retired in 1988. Then went in...

Dear Tye and family,
You probably don't remember us anymore, but we were in the Schenectady Brnch when you and Ray were there. Do you remeber Noel & June Becar? We remember a skit that you prepared about the futures for some of the children in that branch. Among them, you includeed our little son, Noel J., whom we called Noely. And in that skit you predicted that Noely would become a Senator, Senator Noely. It was very humorous and we have never forgotten it. We are so sorry for your...

Tye and family.
I was so very sorry to hear that Ray had passed away. I worked with him at Novell for 8 years and thought he was a remarkable person and very nice man. I had worked with Tye on Ray's expense reports for Novell travel and always had a good time reviewing them. When I would see Ray in the halls of Novell or at a company function, he would always say hello and be friendly. He was someone to be adnmired. He will truely be missed. I sending all my thoughts and prayers to...

Tye and Family,

My wife Nicole and I will always remember the kindness you and Ray showed flying in just for our wedding reception at mom's, and then sticking around to help with dishes!

You are both such a fine example of humble service. Our Aloha to Ray and condolences to the family.

Tye and Family,
I was deeply saddened to hear of Ray's passing. He is one of my hero's in life! I will try and help Ray's legacy live on by living many of his "Noorda ism's". Your husband and father is a great man.
Best Wishes,

My father and Ray knew each other for many years. My father's name
was Virgil, and he always spoke so highly of Ray, I almost felt
like I knew him. I am very sorry for your loss. Ray left an amazing
legacy, but he also had many good, loyal good friends. I remember that
when my Dad would talk about Ray, he would sometimes say 'He's the
president of that company, the one with the funny name', and then he
would try to recall the name; but he never could. I didn't realize...

Dear Tye and Family, We have mountains of memories of the Noorda family...clear back to Schenectady and on. One of our favorite memories is of Ray and Bob playing golf in Orem. We did not know about Val, but surely she and Ray must be having a great reunion. We pray for God's love to surround you and grant you peace at this time.
